SUMMARY:Generation and detection of axions using four-wave mixing in o
 ptical fibers\, Graduate Program Event\, Shay Inbar\, Department of Ph
 ysics Graduate Student
DESCRIPTION:The axion is a hypothetical particle originally postulated
  to solve the strong CP problem in particle physics. It is also a prom
 ising candidate to be dark matter\, which had been a long-standing pro
 blem in physics and cosmology: the evidence for its existence is abund
 ant\, yet no direct measurement has confirmed it as of yet\, and its n
 ature is unknown. The speculated role of the axion in both these puzzl
 es had motivated experimental searches for it. We propose an experimen
 tal scheme for the generation and detection of axions using four-wave 
 mixing in optical fibers. Advantages of this scheme are the large inte
 raction length inside the optical fibers\, and our control of the oper
 ating lasers\, which allows for the scanning of a range of axion masse
 s.
